Tickled Pink No. 6 with a Hop

This week I'm Tickled Pink adds a Blog Hop linky so you can show everyone what tickled you pink, and share this on your own blog by clicking on the link down there that says,
"What is a blog hop? Get the code here..."

{see bottom of post for rules...sorry, there are a few rules!}AND{since it is not all about me anymore}gets a new name...simply, perfectly...Tickled Pink!{Be sure to read all the way to the bottom for the linky and and the NEW giveaway!}

*************************

I am still going to be tickling people and things pink!{that sounds a little wrong}
And, this week, I bring you...a seed to inspire

I have been wanting to grow my own garden...really grow one, not my usual

"put the seeds in a whatever pot I find, water...forget to water...

wonder why there is nothing there - gardening."

Liz talks about her veggie garden and a book that inspires her family's approach to gardening {oh yeah...there might be a giveaway at the bottom for it...keep reading}. We get to hear about her raised beds {I really need some of those}, getting the garden ready and keeping the garden organic. She gives tips on planting and photos of her growing garden! She touches on more updates and even a few what not to-do's.

After watching Liz's garden grow, I went out and bought some seeds and plants and am preparing to make some raised beds... we will grow a garden of something here this year! Thanks for planting that seed of inspiration Liz!

I {heart} Salsa Pie. Every time I read it, I want to runaway and join Caroline and her family. Caroline has a special way of making magic in her home. Unique and fun ideas and kid friendly creations abound.

*************************
Here are a couple of FUN things that are TICKLING ME PINK!

Have you ever heard of the Castroville Artichoke Festival?
You guessed it...all about artichokes. So, on the website they have some super recipes, BUT the one recipe they are missing...is the recipe for Artichoke Cupcakes... stay with me...These cupcakes ROCK! I had them when I first moved up here and have been looking for the recipe ever since. They are not quite carrot cake tasting, not quite zucchini breadish. I WANT THAT RECIPE...OR ONE CLOSE TO IT! That is my plea! They tickle me pink and the festival is this weekend!*************************
Did you see these?

YES! Lily Pulitzer Animal Crackers!
You can read all about it HERE!
I scooped up every box I could find...all for a good cause
-supports tiger conservation in Sumatra through the World Wildlife Fund.

I will definitely be looking for the animal crackers - one of my favorite treats!. One of the first projects we did when we built our house was create a raised garden. It is a great family project and the kids love it. It is so much fun for them to just walk around and just pop a tomato in their mouth.

ok, first I am still so honored that you shared my poem/site and I will link up and I will link back here too! Second those animal crackers tickle me! Those are so cute, had I seen them I would have bought them all too. I must try to find some! and lastly I am off to visit others...

Liz's blog sounds like my kind of blog. I need some cooking and gardening tips, we just started our first garden this year. Hopefully we can actually GROW something. My gardening in the past sounds much like yours :) haha

I love that poem Holly! Thanks for pinkly pointing out those great blogs.

I love artichokes but can't imagine artichoke cupcakes. I have a suspicion that we might be kind of Northern California neighbors...Have you ever had garlic ice cream at the Gilroy Garlic festival? blech!

Holly, what a resource is this little blog of yours for me. I know I can come here each Friday and be fed with so much blogging goodness! I can't wait to stop by and visit the talented ladies you featured today. What a lovely, lovely poem!

Well, once you get that garden thing figured out, let's talk me flying you out to NC to plant mine. My green thumb is every shade of black!!Great links today!!And did Terra write that poem about me? Funny how she knew exactly...and yet I've never met her! WOW!Oh...and I want the book! =)Kelli @ SustainingCreativity

Hi Holly! This is such a wonderful meme! Thanks for the heads up. However, I cannot find you e-mail. I know it must be on your blog but I'm having trouble.Help, dear friend.Love the blogs you chose.Yvonne

What fun! I found another party!Thanks so much for hosting! And thanks for visiting my Cupcake Tuesday, I'd love for you to join in sometime.I'm heading over to enter myself ;-) to be featured!Thanks again!~Liz

I have enjoyed so much reading your blog. I have been trying to read others, and have found such talented people. And I also found myself smiling at most I read.
